Popular Post PetterssonOrPeterson Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not sure if this was posted already in the game day thread but it's such a beautiful story of a person's persistence to help someone out. Apparently our team trainer Red Hamilton had a malignant cancer growing on his neck and luckily a fan behind him happened to be a med school student that noticed and alerted him. She had trouble getting his attention especially in the middle of a loud hockey game but kept trying until she finally got his attention. Thanks to her, he's fine and cancer free. What a beautiful person to try and help out someone when they saw something concerning. Anyone could've very easily turned the other cheek, especially considering how it is a complete stranger and how difficult it was to communicate and alert the person. It's acts like these that restore my faith in humanity. Here's the full article with a video and photos: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/01/01/soon-to-be-med-student-who-alerted-a-canucks-manager-to-a-malignant-mole-at-an-nhl-game-is-found-through-open-letter.html 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a extraordinary person to notice a possible problem and then act on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stihlman65 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Canucks organization gave her $10 000 scholarship for her medical studies. It's nice to see this kind of story amidst all the negatives were being bombarded with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What saddens me is 2 NHL franchise teams COMBINED donated $ for a measly $10,000 towards her medical school. $10k is not chump change for a regular person but for Billionaires running sports teams...they could have easily split paying off all her schooling! Heck I bet the Canuck trainer who got the cancer removed would have been willing to pay $10k out of his own pocket for crying out loud! Teams could have written it off too no!? Either way, good on the medical student for seeing that and telling him about it! Props to her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send her some money if you like. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She very much appreciated it. What an angel. We need more people like this in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Props to her! 5k from each is still a nice chunk..its not about the money it's about gratitude and the gesture.. gratitude is the best currency and its becoming extinct in today's society. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 It’s a wonderful act, and great person, for sure. What doesn’t sit entirely well for me is the fact that the Canucks trainer didn’t think to get the growth looked at in the first place. Shouldn’t he be a bit of a novice medical person to start with? And he’s helping the team with their health? If I had a growth on my neck that was visible to people like that, I’d like to think I’d at least inquire with a doctor about it. I’m not sure if Canucks swapped up their trainers when they cleaned house recently, but this one does make me scratch my head a wee bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you possibly see that? With a handheld mirror facing another mirror, maybe…But observing in that perspective does look like a regular mole. Also, there are a lot of people keep their business to their self and not making any crude judgments about other’s looks and body issues.. Brian is an Assistant Equipment Manager, for 20th seasons with the Canucks. You don’t need a medical background to take care and handling team equipments and laundry.

In a world today where most young people are just narcissistic idiots that have gotten brainwashed with social media apps like instagram and tiktok, it's nice to see that there are still people like this angel who really care about others. Especially in this season of giving, it's what it's all about! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she'd be the last person to complain about how much money she did or didn't get for potentially saving someone's life. She did it out of the good of her heart, not for anything else. It was a nice gesture for her actions and a great token of gratitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
